Liquidator
(redirected from Liquidators)

Liquidator
Person appointed by an unsecured creditor in the United Kingdom to oversee the sale of an insolvent firm's assets and the repayment of its debts.

Liquidator
In bankruptcy, a person placed in charge of a company sometimes by creditors or shareholders, but often by court order who must oversee the winding down of operations and sell all assets. As the liquidator sells off assets, he/she uses the proceeds to pay creditors, starting with secured creditors, by giving them proceeds from sold collateral, followed by unsecured creditors. If there is any money remaining, the liquidator distributes this to the shareholders, if any, or the owner. The liquidator is paid a fee for these services. See also: Receivership.
